I remermber when NHRA was so strict (mid to late 60's) that a '57 Chevy F.I. two door got bounced at Indy for claiming a business sedan (no back seat) when the trim tag on the firewall stated that the car was a standard two door sedan, although the car was done correctly.

Both cars would have run D/S, although at different weights. Just that the trim tag had the wrong code on it and you had to run the factory advertised shipping weight minimum. No adding or subtracting weight back then..

That's when stock meant stock. How far we've come since then.
